Kodak p712 shuts of and lens retracts

Dropped camera Camera dropped while lens was out. Lens was knocked crooked. My son attempted to push the lens back to center it and we heard a piece on the right side click or break. Now the lens wobbles, but retracts. However, the lens comes out halfway between wide and telephoto, have to move it back and forth, or shut off and sometimes it comes out to wide. Pictures are still great. Ask Kodak for help and they wanted me to send it to them and then give me a certificate to take 15% off a new c

My Kodak EasyShare Z1285 won't turn on (and the batteries are in the right way) and the last time I turned it on, the lens opened up and it shut off without the lens retracting. That had never happened before. I just thought the batteries were dead, but with new batteries it still won't turn on.

Hello, I have a Kodak easy share z1275 and has worked well for me for almost 3 years. Used it last week with no problems, has never given me any problems. Suddenly on Saturday, I turn it on to take a picture, lens begins to retract and the camera shuts off, it appears that there is a power supply probelm. I changed batteries, even though the ones I had in it were recently installed, but went ahead and put in new ones, and it will not power on. The blue power indicator light begins to come on

My kodak easyshare m1063 camera has a nwly charged, new battery, and the camera wont turn on and stay on. The lens comes out and retracts immediatley and shuts down!

When I turn the camera on, the lens extends, makes a few noises like it is trying to retract the lens. The viewer shows nothing - like the lens cover is on. When I push the power button to shut it off, it makes the noises again and shuts off but does not retract the lens. The battery is fully charged.

When I power up the camera the lens opens and immediately retracts and the camera shuts off. I've attempted to push every button while turning on the camera to no avail. I also held onto the lens when it opened. Though the lens remained extended, the camera powered off. When I turned it back on the lens retracted and the camera powered off.

MJU 300 Hello my partners MJU 300 camera has developed a fault where when the shutter slide is opened it starts as normal the lens extends the lcd starts then allmost imediately the lens retracts. if it does stay out/on as soon as you take a photo it retracts & shuts down. i have tried a different battery same thing happens. so in my wisdom i decided to remove the shutter slider cover in the hope of finding some fluff on a switch but unfortunately it has only worsened the problem now the camera

Kodak V1003 A few weeks ago, shortly after I'd taken a pic, the lens refused to retract and the camera switched off. It has never been dropped or had anything spilled on it. Strangely, when I press the button furthest left the camera comes on, allows me to view pictures on the card, set the time etc - everything except take pictures. Again when I try to switch off, the lens does not retract. Does this not suggest a software glitch of some kind?

No, unfortunately that is a problem with the hardware, software would not prevent the lens from retracting.\015\012\015\012If it is within manufacturer's warranty (usually 1 year) take it to any Best Buy they will send it out to the mfg f ...

I have a FE4010 camera. Whenever I try and turn on the camera, the lens barrel comes in and out 3 times and then retracts and the camera shuts off. I assume it is sand because after using it in somewhat sandy conditions this happened. I've tried tapping and twisting when I can hold the lens and stop it from retracting, but nothing works. Any ideas besides taking it apart?

Suddenly, after taking some photos the camera will light up to the Fujifilm start window, and no further, then blacks out. It will not shut off with the power button, nor retract and close the lens even when I pull the battery out. I have tried two batteries. When I plugged the camera into the laptop, the lens retracted. Any ideas on what may be the issue?

The main board is bad. Was it recently dropped? If so, then the board might have been damaged - it's not worth fixing. When a camera is dropped it's like a car getting into a major collision - you'll have other problems later. As long as the memory c ...

We have a Panasonic DMC ZS3 camera that has been working fine until now. We are on the North West coast of Costa Rica. When you turn the camera on, the lens, which was out when shut off, goes in, then comes back out. The camera screen tries to focus, then goes to a blank screen and says "SYSTEM ERROR (FOCUS). When you shut it off, the lens does not retract.

Same problem "Hello pros I need help.
The lens on my digimax cyber 530 will not close(retract) completely when I turn off the camera.

Hi,
My Kodak EasyShare C613 intermittently starts up ok, but other times the lens extends and the viewfinder stays on the initial screen. (The Kodak EasyShare system 'share')
After around 40 seconds the camera shuts down and the lens stays extended.

My camera is stuck on the screen that says "lens error" and then has four different numbers in a row. The camera lens is fully extended and will not shut off...any suggestions of what the problem could be? ...
